Drunk Man Becomes Unresponsive In Vienna Cab: Police

VIENNA, VA—There are many examples of unruly passengers in cabs and ride-sharing cars, but here's a new local example. An intoxicated man was arrested and charged after becoming unconscious and not paying a cab driver last week in Vienna.

Police arrived to the 500 Block Maple Avenue West around 1 a.m. on July 28 to find the man unconscious in the backseat. A police officer was not able to wake the man up and called for the ambulance.

First responders eventually were able to wake up the man, but he refused to go to the hospital. Police arrested him and found he had a fake driver's license. He was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center and given arrest warrants for drunk in public and possession of a fictitious driver’s license charges.
